Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy

I had Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy perform at our Frida Kahlo Festival and they were amazing! Every performance was professionally performed. Their costumes, hair and makeup were carefully and detailed selected. We will definitely have them perform at our upcoming events.

27 years of excellence! This school’s dedication to authentic Mexican folklore dance is something to be celebrated. Every instructor here is phenomenal, and the sense of community is amazing."

We love this folklorico academy! My child has been going to Ollin Yoliztli for 3 years now and loves it! The instructors are patient, have high expectations and truly care about each student. They are very knowledgeable about everything they are teaching plus the history behind everything they do. They also teach the Mexican culture and history that goes with every dance. There are also many opportunities to perform and share the art of folkloric dancing around Phoenix and other places. It has been a wonderful experience so far.

Director Ana’s wisdom and experience create an unparalleled learning environment. Her passion for dance and dedication to students is evident in everything she does. This school is a cornerstone of our cultural community."

27 years and counting! This school’s legacy of high-quality, traditional Mexican folklore dance instruction is a treasure for our community. I’m so proud to be part of it

I love this Academy, the passion for the Hispanic folklore dance is amazing!! Our children are not just learning how to dance, they are learning the history and meaning of each dance!! The entire staff is dedicated to our children and make them feel confident, safe and welcome every single day!! Ollin Yoliztli keep doing what your doing, looking forward to my daughters growth and appreciation of our culture and traditions, for many more years to come!

My daughter has been attending Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy for almost six months and she absolutely loves it! I had researched several baile folclórico schools and definitely made the right choice with Ollin Yoliztli. I appreciate the passion and artistic discipline the academy instills in the students while being introduced to the authentic Mexican folklore music and dances. My daughter truly enjoys and looks forward to every dance class as well as performing in the various events the academy participates in. I have seen her confidence and coordination flourish in this short time. Miss Rebeka is an extraordinary instructor! Her charisma, patience, and love for dance show tremendously in how she interacts with her students. She has great rapport with her students and always has high expectations of them. Valentino is very resourceful and a truly talented photographer! He does a great job with integrating innovative ideas into the academy to position it as one of the top baile folclórico academies in the valley. The academy director, Ana, is very professional. She has an admirable vision and creative eye to ensure the integral parts of the beautiful Mexican folklore are preserved and part of the lives of our children. I look forward to seeing my daughter grow in her love of baile folclórico and appreciation of the Mexican culture in the years to come. We are truly grateful for the community we are building within the Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy and highly recommend it to those looking for an authentic baile folclórico academy! Muchas gracias!
